Our pelagic trip with Albatross Encounters out of Kaikoura today was a birding fest, we had 19 species and these Northern Giant Petrels were numerous. They were quick to follow the boat and also quick to get onto the chum cage. They postured, tails fanned and held at 90 degrees, wings spread wide open, trying to make themselves look bigger and more aggressive.
These birds are fierce!
